Why You Should Never Represent Yourself When Facing Criminal Charges

The criminal system is designed to assume that defendants are innocent until proven guilty, and to give all those charged with a crime the right to defend themselves. It is also designed with a number of constitutional protections in mind, such as a defendant’s right to be protected from unlawful search and seizure, for example.

But while the criminal justice system may seem fair from the outside, anyone who has worked within it knows that defendants aren’t always treated with the assumption of innocence that they deserve, and that constitutional violations are common. When you choose to represent yourself in a criminal case, you are taking a huge risk. You may not be aware of the rights afforded to you or when they are being breached, may be unsure of the best defense or how to build it, and lack a relationship with the judge, prosecutor, or court. All of these things can have a negative impact on the outcome of your case.
